Way to dodge the question. YOu, a dimwit, choose to post in a thread about how to reduce gun violence that rich men owned Gatling guns 100 years ago.

I asked you to give the named of THREE of them.

But all you posted was a place where some violent Bad word could buy an antique Gatling gun.

Most of these would be, of course, retired military weapons, not the personal Gatling gun of Henry Ford. J.Pierpont Morgan or perhaps Thomas Edison.

Deporting law abiding citizens is not the way to stop mass shootings in this country.

You are a dummy and lack the ability to discuss anything intelligently. You are an ANGRY dummy who cannot carry on an intelligent conversation about anything. At least so far that is your track record here.

However, Guns are cheap and plentiful and often falling into the hands of people who abuse them to the point of getting a lot of other people killed. . . .

I don't want to win this problem, I want to solve it.

Most gun deaths in the USA are suicides and most of the homicides are criminals being criminals.

In many cities, the victims and the murderer are both "in the game" and are not responsive to "gun control" as it is promoted.

Murders could be reduced 40% - 60% by focusing on the circumstances and those most likely to murder.

There is no need to make new laws that will only impact those least likely to commit a crime with a gun.

Here are my suggestions. No citizen rights are at risk, all that is demanded is tofully enforce laws already on the books.

If these ideas were implemented, I do believe murder would fall 50% in 2 years:

1) Enforce with vigor laws criminalizing the violent misuse of firearms.
2) Don't allow prosecutors to use weapons offenses as bargaining chips to be thrown out for guilty pleas for other charges.
3) Never allow the pleading down of felony gun charges to misdemeanors, especially violent misuse.
4) Mandate full time sentenced to be served for any violent misuse of a firearm.
5) Special streamlined courts and enhanced sentences for repeat offenders / felon in possession.
6) Demand (with severe penalty for public employees for non-compliance) that states maintain the most up-to-date database of prohibited persons possible (including mental illness - HIPPA be damned). and new additions be shared with the federal NICS system and all other states on a bi-weekly basis.
7) Increase funding for parole/probation programs for enforcement of conditions of release and tightening of controls on those under conditional release and oversight of the boards responsible for early release.
8) Increase funding for states / cities for FTA/fugitive recovery with a priority on violent offenders.
9) Enact nationwide concealed weapon permit reciprocity that no state or municipality can opt out of.

Of course these ideas would be resisted and denounced in the jurisdictions where it is most necessary to implement them. The cities with the worst murder problem have turned away from punishing criminals and have instead chosen clearance rates over meting out justice.

I respect your list but I have to wonder why it hasn't been implemented yet. And I have to wonder how much of that is because of the Modern NRA.
